Alongside a polygonal cist, the type of stone-lined box grave associated with prehistoric burial practice in Ireland, unburnt bones from a separate skeleton turned up nearby. That detail, quiet as it sounds, shifts the character of the site considerably.

The presence of scattered inhumations, burials where the body is placed in the earth unburned rather than cremated, raises the possibility that this was a flat cemetery, meaning a burial ground with no visible surface monument to mark it. Such sites are easily overlooked precisely because they leave no obvious trace above ground, no mound, no upright stone, no enclosure. The association with a polygonal cist, a grave form typically constructed from several upright slabs arranged in a rough polygon and covered with a capstone, suggests at least one deliberate, structured interment at the location. Whether the additional skeleton represents a contemporary burial, a later intrusion into the same ground, or something else entirely, is not recorded. The bones were unburnt, which offers a small clue about burial rite, but the chronology of the site remains open.
